Xerjoff 17/17 Symphonium Cologne

Details and Care for 17/17 Symphonium

Musical composition is the inspiration behind Xerjoff 17/17 Symphonium, part of the house's numbered series built around that idea. The house built its name on layered, complex scents that reward close attention, and this one fits the mold. Rather than a flat, single note held throughout, the structure moves in distinct phases, the way a piece of music might. Refined is the word that comes to mind for the intended wearer here.

By evening, things settle into something closer to a skin scent than a loud statement, warm amber mixed with soft musk. Getting there starts with a crisp citrus-and-spice opening that catches attention fast. Aromatic and woody, the middle layers give the fragrance its backbone. Office or weekend, it moves between both without trouble. Moderate for the first few hours, projection pulls in close after that-the kind of wear that rewards someone standing near enough to catch it. As for longevity, it holds up well for a cologne strength. Most days it carries from morning through the workday without needing a reapplication.
